Now Dos Santos, who has a year left on his existing deal, wants to know he will still be part of the club’s plans for next season.

Villarreal had shown an interest, but any deal for the 54-cap star collapsed following their relegation from the top-flight in Spain.

Dos Santos, who faced Wales in New York last night, said: “I don’t know about my future. “I want to concentrate on the national team, but after that I will speak to the chairman to see what is going to happen to me.

“You never know in football. You have to try to do your best to get chances. Maybe I will go, maybe I will stay. It’s great to come to the national team and play games. I’m grateful for the coach to give me the chance. It’s a pleasure.

“I don’t have any other offers at the moment. I will speak to my manager and we will see in a few weeks what will happen with my future.”
